Abstract

A reverse-optics design for a high-throughput UV-visible spectrophotometer is described and compared briefly to conventional spectrophotometer designs. This new spectrophotometer incorporates diode arrays, an aberration-corrected holographic diffraction grating and beam steering. It can perform a full-spectrum measurement in one second. Design philosophy and certain optical and opto-mechanical considerations are discussed in more detail.
